About this Recipe

Tangy, bright, tropical passion fruit is delicious in a salad dressing, bolstering the acidity of vinegar with its tart peach-mango-pineapple flavor.

The Benefits

Passion fruit is full of vitamin C, the antioxidant that helps the body make collagen, absorb iron, and support your immune system. Eat the crunchy seeds; like the pulp, they contain lots of dietary fiber.

Ingredients

Makes about 1/2 cup (140 ml)

1 passion fruit
1/3 cup (80 ml) white wine vinegar
2 tsp (8 g) sugar or honey
1/4 tsp salt
1 small garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut the passionfruit crosswise and pour the pulp, juice, and seeds into a small bowl. Use a fork or small whisk to loosen the seeds from the pulp.
Step 2

Add the vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. Stir in the garlic clove and the olive oil and set aside for 15 to 30 minutes to let the flavors come together.
Step 3

Before serving, strain the vinaigrette to remove the seeds (you’ll be straining the garlic too, but it has infused the dressing). Use immediately or keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
